Progress on the D-O Droid

i made some progress on the D-O droid.

the cone was fine sanded with 240 grid, then primered again in a light grey. after that i added the first coat of white to the surface...

...then another coat after drying.

the three "eyes" were masked after that and painted in dull black.

the "nose" was the next thing to do; i masked it with 3 mm 3M scotch masking tape after making the marks in a 45 mm height using a pencil and measuring tape. 

masking tape and normal tape were used to have a fine surrounding line and to cover the rest of the cone.

the first coat of green was too dark, so i tried another lighter color.
it is a 1975 porsche lime green metallic. i only used the base paint, but no clear coat.

this is looking way better than before!! after the wheathering it will certainly look perfect.

have a look on my cone in comparison to the cone of the chicago comic con:
